Mystery | Suspense
Twelve of Scotland's most famous crime authors
evoke the sinister side of the country's architecture in
stories that are by turns calculating, chilling, and
redemptive.
Scotland has often been depicted
as a land of haunting, misty moors and literary genius. But
Scotland has also been a place of brutal crime, terrifying
murder, child abuse, and bank robbery. Crime can strike
anywhere. From the southern border to the Northern Isles,
suspicion and suspense are never far away. Edinburgh, with
its reputation for civility and elegance, has often been the
scene of savagery; the dark streets of industrial Glasgow
and Dundee have protected thieves and muggers, while the
villages of coast and countryside hide murderous men and
wild women.
Stellar contributors to Bloody
Scotland include Val McDermid, Christopher Brookmyre,
Denise Mina, Peter May, Ann Cleeves, Louise Welsh, Lin
Anderson, Doug Johnstone, Craig Robertson, E. S. Thomson,
Sara Sheridan and Stuart MacBride explore the thrilling
potential of Scotland's iconic sites and structures. From
murder in a Hebridean blackhouse and a macabre tale of
revenge among the furious clamour of an eighteenth century
mill, to a dark psychological thriller set within the
tourist throng of Edinburgh Castle and an ‘urbex' rivalry
turning fatal in the concrete galleries of an abandoned
modernist ruin, this collection uncovers the intimate—and
deadly—connections between people and places.
Prepare
for a dangerous journey into the dark shadows of our
nation's architecture—where passion, fury, desire, and
death collide.
